Like board games, but burned out on Monopoly, Scrabble, and Chess? Looking for interesting games you won't find on the shelf at Wal-Mart? Have you ever thought to yourself, "I really need a way to further alienate myself from my non-geek peers"?

There, there. It's okay. We're here for you.

At Board Game Brawl, we play modern, designer board and card games. Euro games like Dominion and Agricola; party games like Cards Against Humanity and The Resistance; epic thematic games like Arkham Horror and Game of Thrones; strategy games like Mage Wars and Super Dungeon Explore. And, oh...so much more.

This will be a very free-form group. I'm aiming for most meetings to take place at my apartment on Saturday and Wednesday evenings, but anyone who has joined and wants to host on a different day may make the suggestion.

Anyone who shows up is welcome to bring their favorite games, and if enough people agree we'll give it a shot.

18 and over only! Some games are definitely R-rated. And while I will try to have some refreshments on hand, it would be great if others could contribute food and drinks, to offset the cost of the group itself. Alcohol is allowed for those 21 and over.
